Zuno (in his casual attire) stood on the runway of the floating airship carrier as it motionlessly hovered high in the sky, with the only movement coming from the occasional strong gust of wind hitting the carrier's hull, which also messed with Zuno's hair and cloak wrapped around his waist.

Zuno silently stared off into the distance and gazed at the pyramid-themed stadium made of light grey with a hint of pale yellow stone in the middle of a large city. He slowly changed his gaze to the lush giant red flower-covered part of the city.

"Say, isn't it about time for our lunch break?" a Zelkio knight wearing a mechanic's uniform asked.

"Perhaps, but I still need to finish this aircraft's maintenance first so go on ahead," the Zelkio knight mechanic under the aircraft stated. The first Zelkio knight mechanic shrugged and walked off, leaving his colleague to continue working whilst Zuno slightly looked to his side to look at the mechanic. Zuno looked away before he glanced down at the sheathed Hakai no Michi in his hand.

"Selflessness, Tranquility, and Progression, the three things they told me are necessary to protect others, but...," Zuno uttered in his head as he lightly glared at the Hakai no Michi before he tightened his grip on it.

"But I oppose all those things by being what I am...," Zuno uttered under his breath as he held the Hakai no Michi over the edge of the flying airship carrier and envisioned himself dropping the Hakai no Michi. Zuno's outreached hand shook and trembled as Zuno lowered his vision to stare at the vision of a younger him staring back up at him with his hands reaching out for the Hakai No Michi.

"If only I....".

"Hey, Zuzu~," Callie cheerfully exclaimed as she skipped towards Zuno. Callie's voice knocked Zuno out of his previous state of mind, and he clicked his neck before turning around to look at Callie.

"Yes, honey?" Zuno asked.

"Heh, speaking of honey, the maid cafe is making some special treats using various lumoney, so let's go!" Callie proclaimed excitedly. Zuno mentally yawned as he placed the Hakai No Michi behind him and next to the floating sheathed Novathane.

"Lead the way then," Zuno cheerfully stated. Callie happily smiled as her fox ears and tail playfully wagged. Callie took Zuno by the hand and walked with him towards the flying airship carrier's hanger.
